Is the Costway 8.5 lb portable washer worth it?

It suits renters and small spaces where a full-size washer can't go. If you wash large loads or bedding often, its 8.5 lb capacity will feel tight.

How much does it cost?

$219.99 as of October 31, 2026. That is the only price recorded so far, so there is no lower recent price to compare against.

What do I need to hook it up?

A nearby faucet or sink for the fill hose and a drain for the outlet hose. It is not a permanent-plumbing install.

How big a load can it wash?

About 8.5 lbs, roughly a few days of clothes for one or two people. Bulky items like comforters are out of range.

It spins to remove water but does not dry. Expect to hang or air-dry most loads.

Is it Energy Star certified?

Yes, the listing states Energy Star certification, which matters for a machine you may run often.
